Hi all, my name is L. B. La Vigne (but you can call me Laura), and I write LGBT romance and erotica :kiss: I’ll keep it PG here, but I already have 2 published books, one self-published, one with Deep Desires Press and another forthcoming with DDP. I’ve only been published since November 2017.
My preferred genre I like to read is, as you can probably guess, erotica though I do like Dark Romance as well.
I’ve been writing my whole life, but as I approach 30 I figure I should try to turn my lifelong passion in to a job. I do beta read though I prefer to write, and my hobbies include camping, playing with my bird and listening to music. I’m a librarian by day, and a dirty, filthy smut writer by night.

Welcome, Laura! ^^
I'm honestly fascinated! D:

I've been reading first-draft chapters for a friend of mine, and I immediately thought of her when you made your intro!
I bet she could learn a lot from you - her story isn't all about erotica, but it certainly has its sparks. I will keep you in mind if she needs further guidance. :D

Here and now
:welcome:

Congratulations on having already published two books! I write LGBT science-fiction and intend to self-publish my book in the fall. Working right now on creating a website!

Hi Laura! I'm also an erotica author. I got into the publishing part of my writing ten years after my original targeted/desired year to start, but oh well. I did pick up a lot of experience along the way. Grats on actually getting published with someone! I have only managed self-publishing short stories for now.

I have a lot of ideas I need to get into the world, and a lot of years to make up for. :)

Welcome to AW Laura, I'm a dirty, filthy smut writer by night as well, lol.
